Colegio Bolivar

Colegio Bolivar, an Educational Community, was founded in 1947 in Cali, Colombia as a private, coeducational, non-confessional and non-profit foundation. Ever since, it has provided a bilingual, bicultural, and binational type education serving the children of Colombian nationals seeking this type of education, as well as North American families and other foreign residents. Colegio Bolivar’s high standards of educational quality exemplify our commitment to continuous improvement. Currently, the school offers a college preparatory education to nearly 1,400 students in English and in Spanish from Preprimary through grade 12. The institutional characteristics and rigorous curriculum prepare students to enter the world’s most competitive colleges and universities, developing their potential to become integral citizens who make a difference and positively impact society. Colegio Bolivar’s curricular and extracurricular programs come from Colombian and North American traditions and comply with the most demanding standards of both countries. In addition to a group of highly qualified local teachers, most of them bilingual, the school has a numerous group of teachers hired abroad. English is the language in which children are educated since first grade; however, Spanish language and Colombian culture are an integral part of the educational program.
